Morning friends!
Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! Now that the day of indulgence is over, are you all ready to eat some raw food? I know I am! Time to bring on the Raw Food Challenge! I’ve added a new tab at the top of my blog, providing recipes and tips to get you started.
Remember– the Raw Food Challenge can be whatever works for YOU. It may mean you add one raw meal to your day, or even one raw day to your week! Either way, you’ll be flooding your body with pure nutrition and live enzymes, which is a step in the right direction. Let’s start building those healthy habits!!
I’ll report back later to let you know how my day goes, but in the meantime…

Hold onto your stools, I’m hosting my very first giveaway!!! 
To kick-off Week One of my Raw Food Challenge, the wonderful people at CSN Stores have offered to giveaway a handy kitchen gadget to one of my readers!
Raw food doesn’t have to be difficult and time-consuming, but owning one of these gadgets can make it easier to get creative!
#1. Vegetable Spiralizer
The Paderno Spiral Slicer creates ribbon-like strands out of fruits and vegetables in no time, creating fun salad-toppers or raw pasta! Spiralized zucchini makes a great raw pasta, or low-carb option, for those of you trying to improve your health!
#2. Mini Food Chopper
This Hamilton Beach FreshChop Food Chopper is the perfect size for making raw hummus or pesto, raw chocolate macaroons, or even some Fudge Babies!! It’s also great for making homemade dressings and dips! Not only is it incredibly handy, it’s also easy to clean!
#3. Immersion Hand Blender
The Hamilton Beach Turbo-Twister 2 Speed Hand Blender is the perfect tool for making smoothies right in the cup you’re going to drink out of! Less mess, less clean up! I also love my immersion hand blender for blending raw or cooked soups! Simply insert the hand blender into your soup pot, and puree away! You’ll have a creamy, smooth soup in no time! Much easier than tying to ladle your soup in batches to a traditional blender…
